Chief Joseph & the Flight of the Nez Perce: The Untold Story of an American Tragedy Paperback - 2006

by Kent Nerburn

The myth of Chief Joseph is exposed, shedding new light on why his life and the surrender of the Nez Perce forever altered America. Chief Joseph is best known for his speech surrendering his tribe to the U.S. government in 1877 after one of the most remarkable military retreats in American history.

First line

THE NEZ PERCE first encountered the European world, and the Europeans first encountered theirs, in a wide, pine-rimmed meadow in the foothills of the Bitterroot Mountains on a sunlit day in the autumn of 1805.
